I an now see the Solaris machine in the workgroup from other `Windows machines. I still cannot connect to it as I need to setup the shares, and passwords. The Solaris documentation is a little weak in this area, so any advice is welcome.
What documentation are you looking at? Use sharemgr or zfs to configure shares and share properties Use sharectl and smbadm to configure the smb/server. For workgroup mode, this should help: http://blogs.sun.com/timthomas/entry/solaris_cifs_in_workgroup_mode If you want to enable guest access, take a look at: http://blogs.sun.com/afshinsa/ Also: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/cifs-server/docs/ http://blogs.sun.com/amw/ http://blogs.sun.com/dougm/
For some reason the Solaris box cannot see the other workgroup machines even though the smb/client service is running.
You need to enable smb/server for all workgroup services. smb/client is mainly to mount remote file systems - similar to mapping a remote share on Windows.
Out of curiosity was there any good reasons given for releasing something that does not talk to Windows out of the box?
Not that I'm aware of. Alan _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
